Welcome to Autumn

Kiss sweet summer goodbye, here comes Autumn!

Autumn

We heard the sigh of the first autumnal wind, and even the water had acquired a grayer hue. The sumac, grape, and maple were already changed, and the milkweed had turned to a deep rich yellow.

"The Four Seasons" by Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

The yellow flowers are called Zig-Zag Goldenrod and they are a native plant.

The white blooms of the Royal Standard hosta have a lovely fragrance.

The bees are still busy in the flowers. Do you see them?

Guy Noir enjoying one of our lovely late summer days. Fall is in the air.

The first brightly colored leaf I found this season.

The Sweet Autumn Clematis is filled with this type of

bee and many smaller ones as well. They and I too, love the heavenly fragrant blossoms!

The gorgeous colors are emerging on these leaves I found in the yard.

Today it really felt like fall. A cool nip in the air, and the freshest of breezes blowing a few leaves from the trees really set the mood for me. We will be visiting an orchard this weekend for a little apple picking. Hope to have a few nice photos to share with you all.

Guy Noir looks like he enjoys himself ! Your crisp photos were wonderful , I really enjoyed them.I must also let you know I adore that little illustration at the bottom of your page with the red squirrels gathering bags of nuts !:))

And Guy Noir just adds that special touch..I always love when he makes an appearance!Blessings of the season to you kindred!Victora

Dear Diane - love the poem. Your autumn garden is still so gorgeous...mine is tired and worn. Didn't know that there were different kinds of golden rod - wonder if ours is the zig zag type. Ah that Guy Noir looks pretty happy sunning himself - Hope you have a lovely fall day.

Your garden really is beautiful Diane. You are so lucky to still have so much lovely colour - most of my flowers are finished now. I love the leaves when they start to fall - I'm sad to see the end of summer but can appreciate the beauty of the season at the same time!
